We've amassed stacks of unused photos. Often we're left without an article to pair images with. Our new 'Glass to Lens' series will give these orphans a home. We would also like to include your shots. We're looking for a few photos that sum up a beer-experience. Whether it's homebrewing in the backyard, beers while camping, or drinking with Belgian monks, all beer-themed entries are welcome. Email perfectpourphotos (at) gmail (dot) com for more information on sharing. Cheers!
I spent the past month in Portland, Oregon because, in addition to visiting friends and family, I had organized a number of events that brought some of what Focus on the Beer is all about to the Pacific NW. As you know, our wonderful state of Colorado is home to well over 150 breweries, so I worked with about ten to bring their beer to a special event during Portland Beer Week. In addition to that I also organized a couple Beers Made By Walking walks and a BMBW tapping. I'd like to share some of the photos from these experiences. Many of our Pikes Peak Region readers have been a part of our BMBW walks, or you have attended some of our events, so you know what fun they can be. It felt really special to be able to do some of these things in a city that has such a huge influence in the beer industry.
Portland Beer Week is not really a beer week, it's an entire ten days of impressive beer programming. From the Portland Fruit Beer Fest, which challenges people to think very differently about fruit beer, to the Wine and Cheese Fest, to the barrel age beer seminar, the entire thing is one of the more serious educational beer programs I've ever seen.
